Researcher Information

Message for high school students

I am clinically researching the support for children and their families who face difficulties in various aspects of physical and mental development, such as communication, friendships, language, and movement. Specifically, I have been practicing group therapy for children, supporting siblings of children with disabilities, and providing assistance to parents. I also work on supporting children with cerebral palsy in special needs schools and assisting the emotional well-being of children living in foster care facilities. Recently, I have developed an interest in providing psychological support to athletes (sports).
